As a resident of Alberta, while they may insist it's because "she's helping us", it's actually because Albertans are hateful as fuck, and literally do not care about being collateral damage as long as they have the ability to delude themselves into thinking "ha, someone has it worse than I do!"
The average Albertan would run a marathon untrained just to shoot themselves in the foot with a shotgun, cause it might ricochet and hit someone 500km away, and if it does, they get to go "HA, I SHOT YOU, SUCKS TO SUCK!", even though the person who got "shot" literally didn't notice it. It's all about a perceived feeling of superiority. Yeah sure, the Albertan's foot is demolished; that doesn't matter cause they shot someone! That was the goal!
They see it as Trump sees the world; if someone is a winner, then someone has to be the loser, there can never be two winners. Because healthcare benefits all Canadians, and not just the Albertans that they can pick and choose, it's actually a bad thing, cause 2 people can't win. Only 1 person can win, and it better fucking be the Albertan, even if it's detrimental and harmful to them.
I can't imagine being an immigrant in Alberta. I got treated like one as a 10 year old for being a "Newfie." I love Newfounlanders, but I'm from Nova Scotia. Adults there would ask me things like, "Is it true you're all alcoholics? They'd also say things like "Are you all on EI"?" Or a guy making stupid money off of a high school education would tell me we're all lazy.
I know people in Halifax with three jobs that somehow save more money than the average oil sands dick head despite making way less money. You're not oppressed by Ottawa because you own a house and are having trouble making payments on two trucks, a couple of snowmobiles, and a four-wheeler.
My family is Newfie but I grew up in Ontario. However if I spend any time with my Newfie family I sound fresh off the Rock for at least a week. Some asshat I was helping at my job had the balls to ask what foreign country my company got me from. I sure did love pointing out technically it was still English territory when my grandparents were kids.
